• Diligence is the Mother of Good Luck . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• God Helps Them That Help Themselves . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• All things are easy to industry, all things difficult to Sloth . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• Keep thy Shop, & thy Shop will Keep thee . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• Industry need not wish . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• The sleeping fox catches no poultry.  Up!  Up! . . . Richard Saunders (aka Ben Franklin)
